Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz chocolate bars coarsely chopped
  • Sea salt for sprinkling on top (optional)

Method
 

  1. Combine butter, peanut butter, and sugars in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until light and fluffy.
  2. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
  3. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  4. With mixer on low-speed, gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely combined (be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and no dry spots should be remaining).
  5. Add chopped chocolate and use a spatula to stir into the cookie dough until well-incorporated.
  6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. While dough chills, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Once dough is chilled, remove from refrigerator and scoop into large ⅓-cup sized balls and roll between your palms to make a smooth ball.
  8. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.
  9. Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 13-15 minutes (edges may be just beginning to turn light golden brown). Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before removing and enjoying.
  10. Sea salt for sprinkling on top
